Egyptian C-130s flights to pakistan

I suspect delivery mirages equpment

Most probably PAF buy some old Mirages to cannibalised for spares.

Picking up K8s? or delivering those Mirages?

 

[Kabotar]

Or picking up UAVs?

I don't think so about UAVs but K8s or Egyptian Mirages makes sense to me.

If you folks were getting any of our Mirage Vs, they would be flying them there and not going through the effort of dismantling the wings and V-stabs and all associated dissembles in order to fit them into a C-130. Especially if there is a large amount of them. If it as only 1 or 2 aircraft, maybe go through all that effort but I doubt that's what it is. That really doesn't make any sense TBH.

Some of them have already been retired.

And depending on how many are involved in this phantom sale, I highly doubt they would be transported by C-130s. Those would definitely have an agreed-upon flight plan with several stops for refueling in certain friendly countries prior to arriving in Pakistan. If there are other items separate from the aircraft themselves that need to be transported, then maybe those would be handled in the C-130s. But you would've heard about this deal already either in Pakistan or in Egypt, no? For sure in Pakistan moreso than in Egypt but either way, I would think there would've been something out there. Even French news would've said something since Dassault would have to ok this transaction, I would think?

My guess was in regard to non flyable Mirages & necessary items as a starter through C-130s and later may come the flights of purchased one in good condition. However, we can't expect much in news as long as parties involved don't want to share it publicly. Furthermore, News will pick when officials will let it happen. If these aren't for Mirages then most probably to pick up either medical supplies to fight COVID or PAC's trainer AC for EAF (K8s).

Could anyone Show the Flight Path of these birds? Do they need refuelling or they flew all the way to Pakistan from Egypt?

they did not on transponder so websites like flight radar 24 can trace them sir . we can know flight path if they on The ADS-B transponder on aircraft transmits signal containing the location then we can know them .

Was there any news in Pakistan that said the Pakistan Air Force was interested in the Egyptian Mirage Vs? Where did all this news originate from that there might be some deal happening? The reason I ask is because quite a few of these squadrons are still very active in the EAF because the 24 Rafales + 46 MiG-35s aren't enough to replace all the MiG-21s, F-7 AIRGUARDs & about 80 or so Mirage Vs. So hopefully we'll find out what's going on.

Yes and the source was very credible. Alan Warnes wouldn't just say something like that without due confirmation.

We had a conversation and discussion is still active. You might wanna participate...

mostly when something deliver to pakistan its delivered on Pakistani c-130s or il-78
when something delivered from pakistan then it used foreign carriers

so my guess is egyptions are here to pick something rather then deliver something .

Good observation. That can be the case, therefore, I am not hoping a fix on this and still keeping it like it could be anything. Or, this time it is different just because our big birds are busy somewhere else or relocation may cost us more. However, these flights are not a usual business.... 5 planes spotted in weeks time.

if you see these flights load factor they are almost 100tons . and please remember not all the flights have been notified 5 are just captured by aviation spotters we don't know how many total flights arrived . if its joint operation then PAF c-130S being used too then we dont know how much total flights are flown seems something big is being transferred . BTW airworthy Australian mirages were transferred to pakistan via sea cargo ship sir .

Yeah as I already stated as well... we do have ship option. However, let me add something that PAF C-130s been flying constantly. You can now guess and I wouldn't say that I was there. Conclusively, there's something big and happening as very odd.
